Magician is the best place to start to get to know the world(s) and characters. I know I love it, although it's a thick one and the story can meander a bit.
The Empire Trilogy is super good, and can maybe be read alone to get you invested, but I think it makes more sense after reading Magician.
My first read was the Conclave of Shadows trilogy, starting with Talon of the Silver Hawk, and that's what made me fall in love with the world and writing, but I was missing a fair amount of backstory.
